Sorry I cant help you with who can do the job for you. When I had mine bored I had the rear cylinders bored .0005" ( half a thou) larger than the fronts, this was in a attempt to reduce the likliehood of a rear cylinder ceisure. You would be wise to choose carefully as there are only 2 stock oversizes available from Yamaha . Isnt Ginger Malloy somewhere round your way maybe somewhere near the big power station?

I don't think a 2 stroke shop would do a rebore - they would send it to an engine reconditioner who would machine it for them.

Thanks - you're probably right but need to make sure the machine shop are aware of the need for transfer port chamfering etc... some of the OEM's get a bit carried away with the spec requirements.

It might be worth talking to either:
Barry Lynch at Beaumont Engineering, or Hills Performance Engineering (HPE), both here in Christchurch.

If you use Hills allow about a year for it to be done
